1.4X upgrade times and costs still inconsistant

Planetary improvements on the same planet are different

from GalCiv2 Forums
I am midway through a gigantic galaxy and when I get a new technology that gives me a new planetary improvement that requires upgrading old ones. On some planets I will have five of the same improvement upgrading from the same improvement and I will have three differing upgrade times and costs to buy the exact same upgrade. I have reported this problem in previous builds and have heard no comment from Stardock whatsoever.

I have noticed that too. It may not actually be a bug, though. When you develop a technology, the tech points not used for that tech are applied to the next tech. If you are researching low level techs near the end of the game, you can get several in one go. The same seems to apply to ships: if you pay more during a turn than is necessary to complete a ship, it goes to the next build. I assume that, when a building is completed, the computer records how much was paid to build it, and reduces an upgrade by that much.

That might be. It sounds reasonable, but I still would like to get a nod from Stardock becausethe range of difference seems bigger than that. There is often 3-4 turns of difference in building time which is more than you explanation would account for.
